I remember when we were pioneering we had no money nothing and I went to get the mags to use for the month the brother giving them out was so mad that I did not have any money he knew we lived on nothing as all of our time was out trying to sell these things and like you said no one wanted them so we had to give them away. I was working 35 hours a week and puting in 25 a week pioneering. We lived in the country and spent tons and tons on gas which no one whould help us with. We would put seven people in our Honda Civic they would just smash in our car. There were not enough set bealts but they did not seem to care as long they did not have to use their cars and spend their gas I guess they thougt holly spirit would save them if we were in an accednet. So one day this MS told me unless he saw me put my money in the box right then in front of him he would not let me take the mags and books. I was so hurt. We had nothing and he knew it. Then my husband was so mad at me for not geting the junk I do not know where where my husband felt I should have gotten the money to put in the box. All of this is just so hurtful.

MY PROJECT IS (FINALLY) FINISHED!
by Mary infor those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.
i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.
it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.

Jesus tells kiddies not to play wih penis' or vulvas?
by lovelylil inon the thread about the pdf for the 2003 listening to the great teacher book, i posted about the arguement my hubby and i had over this book when it first came out.
i threw out the 2 copies my kids had and then regretted it because i think this book is very telling about the wt organization and the issue of pedophiles and child molestation.
i wanted to address what happened here too for discussion.. i am not good at copying over texts so perhaps someone else can post here pages 59-60 in this book where sexual content is explained in vivid detail using the terms penis and vulva.

No Way To give just an example of how much they guilt you we had a part on our service meeting about getting more time in servce the FDS says we need to up our hours so this elders say lets all stay out untill 12:30 on Saturday instead of stoping at 12:00 what is half an hour of our lifes all of our time belongs to Jehovah anyway. O my God. So like everyone now feels guilty and stays out till 12:30 which really ticks me off because they are only doing it because of Guilt. So now two weeks ago this other elder has the local needs part and he say how about 10 more minutes. I almost lost it in my seat. O dear God. I just wanted them to give me a gun and blow my brains out there. You can not please Jehovah is what I heard nothing is enough. There is no happeness there.

Why am I so lucky...Please help with this teaching ...
by Iwonder17 inok, here is something that i have struggled with for years !!
the question is in multiple parts that i will state in no particular order.. how can it be that only 6 million people are right and 6 billion are wrong?.
how is it that i am luchy enough to be "born into the truth", cuz if i wasn't, i know that i would never give a jw the time of day if they came to my door.. what is i was born in india or china,, chances are that i would not be a jw.

I have not posted as much as I should I just started in June eveyone here has been so nice to me. But I have to add to this thread. I have asked C.O.'s everyone that question why am I in the truth and no one else. They all give me the same lame answers of how Jehovah loves just me so much. Please!!!! So he hates everyone else!!!!! How stupid is that and I bought into that for so long how dumb was I. Jehovah is not using this religon. The answer is because I just happend to be unlucky enough to be born into it. That is the true answer. God I wish I had not been.

Flipper just wanted to say that I am sorry. Life is so unfair sometimes. I am glad he had you as a friend you seem like a caring person and I am sure he knew that. My thoughts are with you.

Hi I just wanted to say hi and to thank everyone who answered me. I have tried to start a new post and can not do it for some reason. I am bad with computers. I have enjoyed all of you who wrote and have felt bad that I have not thanked you before this. This has been so hard to go through as most of you know. Thank you so much flipper, Grace and Gust with questions. I had honesly thought this was the truth. And as you know the pedophile things is what made me rethink this and understand that it is not the truth. I think more and more people are going to wake up. It will be different things that hit them but I really feel with the internet it will happen. Has any one heard about the new pioneer hours I tried to start a thread about that also and could not do it. Just wondering. It is supposed to be told this week at the service meeting.
Words can not say how much all of your response meant to me thank you again and sorry about the spelling. I am bad at it but as flipper said that is waht they get for not wanting us to go to school.

I am new here and scarred out of my mind. I have been a born in and do not understand what is happening. I alway thought this was the truth. Now I do not know. The pedophile problem is my biggest reason for doubting the truth and the reason I started having doubts in the first place. My husband is a die hard JW and would never leave. I was looking at the six screen of the watchtower that was on yesterday and now it is gone. I can not seem to get it to come up when I type it in my address on the serch engen and I am not good with computers. Is it anywhere still on freeminds. Why is it gone? Was there something wrong with it. I was hopping maybe my husband might listen to Bill Browne part on child abuse. I am am so freaked out about sending this and my husband would be mad. I am so scarred about what is happening. Why are they not handing the child abuse problem right. Why are pedophiles seeming to be so prected in the truth. I just do not understand it. I have been reading on this site for about a month and this is my first post. Thanks
